Pierre-Arnaud Dablemont plays Bach

Pierre-Arnaud Dablemont plays Bach is the first ZeD Classics release of the young French pianist, who sees it as a return to the roots of modern keyboard music.

The album features some of the most celebrated keyboard works, the toccata in E minor, the first partita in B-flat Major and the sixth partita in E minor. “This album is the result of a long exploration of Bach works on a modern piano.” says pianist Pierre-Arnaud Dablemont. “Although I’ve played them for a long time, I’ve never played these pieces in public. In fact, I’ve never played any of Bach’s music in public. Releasing this album is like inviting the listener in my secret garden, in my inner musical life.” he added.
